YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The NHS maternity sector has been described as "soul destroying" by midwives looking to leave the profession.

The Royal College of Midwives says midwife numbers have dropped by nearly 700 – England is already short of 2,000 workers.

Sky News has been told growing staff shortages have created a "toxic cycle" of resignations and further pressure on those who remain.
